ABIKU (Durosinmi)

Ashes follow the one who pours it,
Loose free from chains child of the gods, for
When goats look back they revert curses.
Consider pale tears of your mother,
You’ve been here before; welcome again.

Every line on your face and body,
The bangles and the charmed circles too,
Are not there to deny you of God’s
Gift to man. The love you seek to find
Is in a place just Abiye(s) live.

Loose free from chains child of the gods, for
Nature wants to show you her beauty.
And if you feel you’re too big to stay,
Go away and don’t you dare come back.
Let the offspring that will stay be born
